Say what?

So I found out my license was suspended for a traffic ticket I was sure had been taken care of. I fixed it but man, happy Monday!

In posterum ste

As time passed without a new post here from me I've debated the fate of it all. I don't even know if blogger is still relevant; it's been that long since I've really been able to contribute something worthwhile to the web.

I've struggled for a long time to find focus; why should I even come back? They say that wisdom comes with age and maturity. Whether it not that is true, I've learned that if not any wiser, I am more focused.

Since my son was diagnosed with Aspergers I've learned lifetimes about him and have also learned the difficulties and daunting new realities that having a child on the spectrum bring.

My wife and I have faced nothing but an uphill battle to find help or even support for him. From teachers to school administrators and beyond, it's been an exercise in mental fortitude and restraint with repeated forays into anxiety and frustration.

I need an outlet and its hard to find that when you work as many hours as I do and don't have anybody outside of my immediate family who can relate; which is why I'm back here. I'll still post whatever interests me but there's also going to be a heavy focus on my adventures and struggles as the dad of an awesome kid who just happens to be an aspie.

That being said, lets get the party started!

And like that, it is done.

I'm no democrat and I don't begrudge Romney his success, but is this really a smart thing to say in Detroit of all places in this economy?

Way to show that you understand the average American, Mitt.

A Hot Time at the Pool

I wonder if we could build a duct to heat pools on the east coast with hot air from the White House? Hmm.

Of work and school...

I guess I ought to try to get at least one post in this month. School has been going great. Really, it's been much smoother than I expected. For the first time in my life I can say that I am a straight a student beyond the first day of school. I keep finding myself wishing I'd have had this mindset before when I was much younger but I can safely say that if it wouldn't have been for the crap I had to go through because I screwed off in school when I was younger, I most assuredly wouldn't be er student I am today. Work is...well stable. Dead, but stable. I guess I shouldn't complain, I mean it is pretty low stress. I'm just getting really tired of driving the delivery truck all the time. We were supposed to have run an ad for a new driver by now, but of course with the company i work for, that may remain a dream. They seem to have a mild epileptic seizure every time spending money is involved, hence the back window missing out of the truck for two months, and no ad for a driver. I could go on, but quite frankly I have to be back there in a few hours as it is and I am tired of thinking about it. The kids are doing great, all of the issues we had been facing seem to be on the mend, so thats a relief. They are both pretty special. I find that thinking about them is all it takes to keep my head in the game at school and at work these days. We both are doing our best to make things right by them, and for the first time, I think I can truly say we are on the way.

Potential pachyderm, perhaps?
